Here is the draft ASF report for July 2017, covering Q2 2017 activity. It is posted at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/July2017
Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions and I will update the report. ------------------------------- MADlib Big Data Machine Learning in SQL for Data Scientists. MADlib has been incubating since 2015-09-15. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Finalize trademark transfer from Pivotal to ASF. 2. Continue to produce regular Apache (incubating) releases. 3. Continue to execute and manage the project according to governance model of the "Apache Way”. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? 1. The Apache MADlib Project is ready for graduation out of the incubator.
